Men Who Take a Lot of Selfies More Likely to Be Psychopaths, New Study Finds

According toUSA Today, a new study led by Ohio State University
Professor Jesse Fox has found that men who post numerous selfies online tend to
exhibit higher levels of narcissism and psychopathy.

Filters
aren't a good sign either. Fox's study also found that men who spend time
editing the selfies they post have higher levels of narcissism and
self-objectification.

To get
their results, the study looked at the online behavior of 800 males between the
ages of 18 and 40. All the participants filled out a survey about their
relationship with selfies, along with questionnaires about objectification and
anti-social behavior.

While some of the men involved in the study showed higher
levels of psychopathy than others in the group, everyone tested within the
normal range.

Fox
plans to continue her work in selfie studies, researching the relationship
between a person's selfie count and the online behavior of his or her friends
next.
